One-Shade wonders? study tests if universal composites can replace traditional fillings

NCT ID NCT06563128

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares four new single-shade universal resin composites to a conventional composite for filling class 2 cavities (between teeth). 45 adults will receive 180 fillings, which will be evaluated at 6 and 12 months by blinded dentists using standard criteria. The goal is to see if these simpler, color-matching materials perform as well as traditional options.
